Farm-to-Skein Colorwork Throw
Originally published in Making Magazine, the Farm-to-Skein COLORWORK THORW is an easy-to-knit, colorwork blanket inspired by Cecelia Campochiaro’s SEQUENCE KNITTING.
In addition to the original directions for a throw, I have updated the pattern to include directions for a Baby Blanket.
The blanket is knit flat, end-to-end and the Sequence knitting creates a rhythmic flow. Knitting it became a wonderful way to ground myself each night before I went to bed.
Originally I used 6 skeins of one of my favorite Maine grown and naturally dyed yarns, Lana Plantae fingering weight Rambouillet yarn and created a colorful throw to brighten up my fisherman’s house on Vinalhaven Island.
For my second throw, I used 6 skeins of Jill Draper Makes Stuff’s lovely Mohonk Light, another locally sourced and lovingly hand-dyed yarn, sheep-to-skein yarn.
And I have also knit 2 baby blankets: one in yarn sourced and dyed on Vinalhaven and one in Plucky Knitter Primo Sport.
